What do you do to keep stubborn control panel overlays down?
90% of the time I can apply cpos with no problem whether they be NOS, or repro, silk screen or solvent inkjet and from all vendors, TOG, Arcade Overlays, Quarter Arcade, Arcade Shop, Phoenix Arcade, Mikes Arcade, game on grafix, etc. My method for applying is the same, powdercoat metal with smooth gloss surface, line up art, tape and clamp down for a week or so, heat metal with heat gun, peel backing and apply with padded squeegee from the middle going out.
I've had better luck with 3M367 adhesively backed cpos than I have with 3M368. No idea why, it just seems stronger.
I've tried additional 3M tape and spray glue but still I have a few that WILL NOT STICK.
Anyone have an inside tip to help me out? Maybe some miraculous product that has eluded me?
Is it the Powdercoating surface?
